I think most of us are familiar with C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.

And I especially love the story, the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe.

You may have read the book. You may have seen the movie.

And you remember that scene where Edmund stumbles into Narnia through the wardrobe?

And he ends up lost and alone in a cold snowy forest.

And then all of a sudden he hears the sound of bells in the distance,

and soon around the corner comes a sleigh.

And sitting on top of that sleigh is who?

The White Witch.

And the White Witch pulls over.

She stops to talk to Edmund, and as she does, she remembers this ancient prophecy.

That her reign and her life will be over when two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve sit enthroned at Care Paravell.

So pretending to be friendly, she invites Edmund to join her inner sleigh,

and she asks him if he'd like something to eat.

Well, Edmund requests Turkish delight, which she magically produces.

What Edmund doesn't know is that the Turkish delight is enchanted, and whoever tastes it is going to want more and more.

They won't be satisfied with just a little bit. So the witch promises to give him more candy if he'll bring his sisters and brother to her house. She also offers to make Edmund a prince

and tells him that someday when she is gone, he will be the king. Well, Edmund's desires for power

and for pleasure lead him to yield to the witch's temptation

and ultimately to betray his sisters and brother.
